MBC 4 launched in 2005, is an Arab television channel geared towards women and young Arab families. It broadcasts Western series in addition to locally produced programming.
IN late 2011, MBC 4 began airing new Western series in a "day-and-date" strategy, providing viewers in the MENA region with US drama series, less than a week after their latest episode's première in the United States. These series include: The Good Wife, The Vampire Diaries, Ringer, The Secret Circle, 90210, and Pretty Little Liars.
